Wateredge Inn stands on the shores of Lake Windermere, a short walk from Ambleside center. Set across two former 17th century fishermen's cottages, it offers cozy bedrooms and period features. The room was lovely and the bed so comfy. The bathroom was excellent very clean.
This family-run hotel overlooks Lake Windermere and has free parking, free Wi-Fi and fine food. The shops of Ambleside are a 10-minute stroll away. The breakfast was fantastic as was the entire staff.
Set close to Lake Windermere, just a 5-minute walk from Long Wood Bay Watersports Center and a 2-minute drive from Ambleside, Briery Wood Hotel is surrounded by peaceful fields and woodland. Everything! It’s an amazing country house experience.
Nanny Brow offers award-winning accommodations in a period Arts and Craft house located on its own private crag, surrounded by 6 acres of private garden with river and mountain views. The location is absolutely amazing. The owners definitely take pride in both the interior decor and the exterior landscaping. Each room is beautifully decorated with comfortable beds, homemade treats each night, and luxurious toiletries. Each night we fell asleep to the sound of quiet country noises coming from our open window. We enjoyed delicious breakfasts with both buffet items, and to order choices. There are trails around the property for a leisurely stroll, and guides available to venture further afield. Sue was a pleasure to chat with and made us feel so welcome. We enjoyed walking around the town, and taking a boat ride in nearby Coniston. We could easily have stayed here longer.
With a picturesque location in Ambleside, Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa, BW Premier Collection features a modern spa and a brasserie. The kind and friendly manner in which I was treated by the staff sticks out most in my mind. The accommodations were comfortable, the pool was very convenient and the right size for exercising, and the physical location is hard to beat.

Ambleside is a lovely town which is not as commercialised as some other towns in the Lake District. There's plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to suit all tastes. There's even an indoor climbing wall if that's your sort of thing. I can highly recommend Bar Es for Mexican Tapas; The Log House (cook your own steak on a hot stone); and The Lily (Good food and some form of entertainment every evening - Rhythm and Blues night, Open mic night, comedy night, quiz night).
Crow How Country Guest House was fantastic to stay in, a lovely B&B with an excellent owner/operator to host those fortunate to stay there. The breakfasts were lovely, the house was in easy proximity to town and to hiking trails and there were great restaurants and pubs for lunch and dinner. I highly recommend a stay in Ambleside and at the Crow How B&B!
Wow, such a beautiful place. The views across the lake are stunning. We were only able to stay one night but we are already planning a return. We took a boat trip across the lake and the booking staff as well as the boat staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. It gave a good impression of the area. Lots of friendly dog owners too. We travelled with our beautiful Labrador and she was made very welcome. What a lovely place. Cant wait to go back.
I’ve always loved Ambleside. Busy but I don’t feel stressed/squashed. Great bars, shops, restaurants. Hayes Garden Centre is a must visit. We ate at the Lake Road Kitchen - a Michelin Star Restaurant.
We love Ambleside. This was a short trip, but we managed to fit in a visit to Blackwell - the Arts and Crafts House - which was superb. We also did a stunning circular walk from Ambleside over Loughrigg Fell, round Loughrigg Tarn, and back to Ambleside, enjoying views of Windermere, Grasmere and Rydal Water and the Rydal Caves along the way as well as many of the peaks.
Beautiful little town that didn't feel too commercial. Plenty to do if you needed a break from walking . You can walk up into the hills from Ambleside without having to drive anywhere. Food choices were excellent but we particularly liked Lucy's on a Plate.
The location is perfect you can park your car up and not use it for your stay! Shops, restaurants, bars and cafes within minutes of front door. Also plenty of walks to do from ambleside of varying length and difficulty. Service was great, quick responses and very helpful. Cottage was great, modern, clean, all you need for your trip. Very comfortable lovely to come back to after a day out and room for 2 adults and a labrador no issues. Would definitely stay again if back in the area.
The Farm is located in a beautiful Location close to Ambleside. The breakfast was delicious, the rooms cosy, and Sheila the owner was wonderful. I especially liked the daily ritual of sitting in front of the wood fired oven in the common room after returning to the farm in the evening. I loved the cat sitting by the fire and there was always a delicious cake waiting for us guests.
Clean well kept , we stayed at the cottage which is not part of the main hotel building. Room 11 called Otter. Two bedrooms , nice and clean. The staff were all very friendly throughout our stay. Very good choice of food for breakfast. The added bonus of seeing Badgers feeding at night was brilliant. Very good location for all of the Eastern side of the lake district.
This hotel is in a great location in the centre of Ambleside and has its own car park which is a bonus (however the entrance is very tight so beware!). Our room had a lovely view and we had a very peaceful night's sleep. Breakfast was simple but tasty, served quickly which was what we needed. The staff were always friendly and helpful.
Great location and Ambleside has lots of shops, restaurants, and a movie theater for rainy days near by. A newly constructed park within a 2 minute walk is a great activity for kids as well. I would suggest your kids be a bit older (7+) as they will need to entertain themselves if it’s rainy- same suggestion I’d make for any B&B
The location of this hostel is one of the best thing that impressed me. It located by the lake, which provides it with the stunning view from my room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was also very clean and the beds were comfortable. The price was very cheap.
The location was great, and about a ten minute walk to the centre of Ambleside. The room was comfortable, clean, and well furnished. The hotel is brilliantly situated on the Northeastern tip of Windermere, with great views over the lake, especially at sunset.
Chris was extremely helpful in planning our day in Ambleside, copying a map and description of a walk he recommended; it turned out to be beautiful. The breakfast was so filling that we did without lunch, instead just getting a mid-afternoon tea and scone.
Fantastic b+b right in the centre of Ambleside. Everything about our 2 night stay was great-lovely room, very dog friendly, amazing breakfast and Jane is just so friendly. Will definitely be going back. Would highly recommend.
The family atmosphere. Calm colours of the decoratiob. Large windows with lovely views. Convenient location for Ambleside shops. Pier head cruises on Lake Windermere. Walks all close by. Very nice comfortable family run hotel
Great hotel with good facilities particularly liked the breakfast times which meant no rushing in the morning and set us up for the day. Location was perfect for lake cruise and a short walk into Ambleside.
In a beautiful location just outside of Ambleside. The room we stayed in was spacious and the bed was huge. But the best thing about the hotel had to be the staff who went out of their way to be helpful.
Perfectly situated on the outskirts of Ambleside. A warm and friendly home from from home offering clean and complete facilities, beautiful views and a great breakfast.
Richard and Diney are wonderful hosts. Attention to detail! Delicious breakfasts. Quiet beside a lovely river! Beautiful short walk into Ambleside.
Great central location with parking in Ambleside. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms. Good size as had a travel cot for my toddler too!
One of the best hotels in Ambleside; the facilities are excellent.
The hotel was conveniently located. It was dog friendly.
This was our 3rd visit to the Langdale and we were really excited to try the new Brimstone Spa experience. Definitely worth the money...the spa hosts were really helpful, the treatment rooms were great and the outdoor pool and fire were gorgeous. Can't wait to go back. As usual, the breakfast was 10/10 and we ate at the restaurant this time too...really decent food, fair price, helpful staff and lovely setting. Would definitely recommend.
The room was great, the location ideal (but you need to have a car or a means of transportation) and the restaurant superb, from breakfast to dinner (the afternoon tea is not to be missed either). Overall a great experience that contributed to make our stay in Cumbria unforgettable
